• What do I do if an item develops a fault after 30 days?

  If an item is faulty and you purchased it more than 30 days ago, it is our aim to get the problem put right as quickly as possible. We may offer a repair or replacement of the item, or offer a price reduction or refund.

  If the product is to be repaired, and the manufacturer has provided a helpline, repair service or warranty, please contact the manufacturer direct in the first instance. If you require assistance with locating the manufacturer or their contact details, please contact us.

  If there is no such service or warranty with the product, in most instances we will either offer a repair or where this is not possible, we will replace the item with the same or an equivalent model.

• I've installed my product, but a part is faulty/missing, can I exchange/receive just that part?

  Currently, we do not directly supply spare parts for all products that we sell. Therefore, if you have installed your products, discovered or encountered a fault and are not easily able to remove or return them, our standard returns procedure might not be the best solution for you. To discuss the options that might be available, please Contact Us. If you have bought a product for personal (and not business) use, and it turns out to be faulty, your statutory rights will not be affected and we will refund, repair or replace the product in line with the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

• Can I return something even if it’s not faulty?

  You are able to return an item if it's not faulty, provided it is within 30 days of purchase and as long as the items are returned unused and in a saleable condition complete with their original packaging and any promotional items associated to the purchase.

• What should I do if I’ve already used or installed something which has developed a fault within 30 days of purchase?

  If an item becomes faulty within 30 days from the date of purchase, then you will be able to reject the goods and receive a full refund or a replacement.

  If it is possible to do so, please return items to a Screwfix store with all their components and include any promotional extras that came with them. Please remember to drain any fuel or oil from mechanical products before returning them. If you cannot return the item to a store, See above on how to return by post.

  If the items are installed and you are not able to remove and return them, please Contact Us to arrange an alternative solution.
